New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel

Known scientifically as Perna Canaliculus, the Green Lipped Mussel (GLM) is native to New Zealand and is most commonly known for being an ingredient in human and animal joint supplements.

It can be spelled a variety of ways, the most common being Green Lipped Mussel. Other common spellings include greenlip mussel and green lip mussel.

It is swiftly gaining acclaim in the equine supplement sector for its rapid and noticeable results.  

Not just for joints, the unique properties found in green lip mussel provide a variety of health benefits that can be seen across the whole equine body.   

Important features of the Green Lip Mussel  

1. The Greenlip Mussel is a potent source of Omega 3 fatty acids including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA). These Omega 3s have been linked to a wide range of health benefits including joint, heart, eyes, skin, and brain health. EPA and DHA can be found in sunflower oil, linseed oil and cod liver oil, which are widely used by horse owners to add essential fatty acids into the equine diet. ETAs are only found in the Green Lipped Mussel.
2.  A natural anti-inflammatory, backed up by years of research, the Green Lip Mussel has been shown to contain a number of omega-3 series fatty acids of which there are 4 eicosatetraenoic acids (ETAs) which are unique to GLM. These 20 carbon 4 double-bonded structures have been shown to exert significant anti-inflammatory activity in scientific tests which explains the positive health benefits of GreenLip Mussel in maintaining joint mobility. 
3. Best known for its benefits in supporting joint health, the Greenlip Mussel contains a range of chondroprotective nutrients, including glycosaminoglycans (GAGS) and chondroitin sulphate which make up the building blocks of joint structure and work alongside the anti-inflammatory ETA Omega 3s.

What makes your product different from other Glucosamine based joint supplement?

Pernamax Caplets are different as Glucosamine is not the primary ingredient in our joint supplement. Glucosamine is a well-known nutrient for the regeneration of cartilage and the connective tissues surrounding the joints in the long term. However, the short-term impact of Glucosamine is extremely low compared with our Green Lip Mussel extract SuPerna™. It is the dual action of SuPerna™ in the short term and Glucosamine in the long term, that makes Pernamax Caplets truly unique in joint care.

I have used other Green Lip Mussel products before, how is yours any better?

Our Green Lip Mussel extract SuPerna™ is completely unique in being the highest quality GLM extract available on the supplement market. (As proven by independent laboratories.) It is produced using a patented Cold Processing method which retains optimum concentrations of the active Omega-3s which make the Green Lip Mussel so effective. SuPerna™ based products are only available from Maxavita.
